ENGINE DETAIL

The White 2-65 tractor features a robust Isuzu diesel engine with a displacement of 3.9L, ensuring sufficient torque and efficiency for agricultural tasks at its rated RPM of 2200. Its dry air cleaner with pre-cleaner enhances filtration, promoting engine longevity under dusty conditions, while the compression ratio of 17.5:1 indicates potential for higher thermal efficiency and power output. However, the relatively high idle RPM range (675-2420) may lead to increased fuel consumption if not managed properly during low-load operations.

WHITE 2-65 ENGINE

The White 2-65 tractor is powered by an Isuzu 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering robust performance and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its moderate horsepower and torque ratings provide a balance for light to mid-range applications, but may challenge heavy-duty workloads. Be aware that parts availability can be a concern due to the age of the model, potentially impacting maintenance and repair timelines.

TRANSMISSION

The White 2-65 tractor features a synchromesh transmission with 16 forward and 4 reverse gears, enhancing versatility in various field conditions. Its high-low creeper and auxiliary ranges allow for precise speed control, beneficial for tasks requiring careful maneuvering, such as tillage or hauling. However, the lower oil capacity (41.3 qts) may necessitate more frequent maintenance checks for optimal performance and longevity.

MECHANICAL

The White 2-65 tractor features a 4x2 2WD drivetrain with an optional 4x4 MFWD, enhancing traction and stability in varied terrain, making it suitable for both flat and hilly landscapes. Its 16-speed synchromesh transmission allows for smooth shifting and optimal power delivery, beneficial for tasks requiring precision control, such as tilling or plowing. The standard foot-activated differential lock combined with differential wet disc brakes ensures improved maneuverability and safety during operation, though operators should be cautious about maintaining the brake system for optimal performance.

WHITE 2-65 TIRES

The White 2-65 tractor offers a suitable tire configuration that enhances traction and stability, with standard agricultural tires designed for both 2WD (7.50-16 front, 16.9-30 rear) and 4WD (9.50-24 front, 16.9-30 rear) options, ideal for various field applications. The 4WD configuration improves power distribution and reduces soil compaction, making it advantageous for heavier tasks or diverse terrains. However, the tire selection may limit the tractor's performance in extremely muddy or wet conditions, requiring careful selection based on the operational environment.
